Application Notes for CyberPath PowerPath POE4424

Power over Ethernet (PoE) Switch with Avaya IP

Telephones and Avaya Wireless Access Points – Issue 1.1

Abstract

These Application Notes describe the procedures for configuring the CyberPath PowerPath

POE4424 switch to provide inline Power over Ethernet (PoE) to Avaya IP Telephones and

Avaya Wireless Access Points. During compliance testing, Avaya IP Telephones and

Wireless Access Points successfully obtained power and transferred data over standard

Ethernet cables from a CyberPath PowerPath POE4424 switch. Information in these

Application Notes has been obtained through compliance testing and additional technical

discussions. Testing was conducted via the DeveloperConnection Program at the Avaya

Solution and Interoperability Test Lab.

1. Introduction

Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows both power and data to be simultaneously carried over

standard Ethernet cables. PoE-enabled Ethernet switches can supply power directly to Ethernet

devices, thereby simplifying installation and removing the need for separate power supplies for

those devices. The IEEE 802.3af standard defines the mechanisms for Power Sourcing

Equipment (PSE), such as PoE-enabled Ethernet switches, to detect, classify, and supply power

to Powered Devices (PDs), such as PoE-enabled IP telephones and wireless access points. In the

compliance-tested configuration described in these Application Notes, a CyberPath PowerPath

POE4424 switch is a PSE configured to supply inline PoE to Avaya PDs, specifically Avaya IP

Telephones and Avaya AP-8 Wireless Access Points.

As illustrated in Figure 1, the Avaya PDs covered in these Application Notes include the

following:

• 4601 IP Telephone

• 4602 IP Telephone and 4602SW IP Telephones

• 4610SW IP Telephone

• 4620 IP Telephone

• 4620SW IP Telephone

• 4621SW IP Telephone

• 4622SW IP Telephone

• 4625SW IP Telephone

• 4630SW IP Telephone

• 5601 IP Telephone

• 5602SW IP Telephone

• Avaya Gen-2 4606, 4612, and 4624 IP Telephones

• Avaya Wireless AP-8 802.11a/b/g Access Point

The Avaya 4612 and 4624 IP Telephones can be identified as Gen-2 by inspecting the model

number. “2A” in the model number indicates Gen-2. The model number can be found by:

• Inspecting the label attached to the bottom of the Telephone.

• Pressing Mute, V, I, E, W, # on the keypad and then pressing * until the model number

appears. Press # to exit.

An example of a model number is 4612D02A-003 (Gen-2).

The Avaya 4620SW Class 2 and Class 3 IP Telephones can be differentiated by the microphone

at the bottom right side of the Telephone. If the microphone has one hole, it is Class 2, and if it

has two holes, it is Class 3.

The classifications of the phones are dependent on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics

Engineers (IEEE) 802.3af classifications for Powered Devices such as Avaya IP Telephones.

Each Powered Device is classified by the amount of power that it consumes into one of the

IEEE’s five classes. (The IEEE 802.3af PSE and Powered-Device Power Classifications chart

can be seen in Table 2).

The powering tests included verification of the following after the product was connected to the

switch:

• Successful boot operation.

• For Avaya IP Telephones, successful registration with Avaya Communication Manager

or Avaya IP Office (for the Avaya 5600-Series IP Telephones), completion of a test call,

and raising speakerphone volume to maximum value.

• For the Wireless LAN Access Point, successful registration of an Avaya IP Softphone

and an Avaya 3616 Wireless Telephone with Avaya Communication Manager and

completion of a test call.

• Connecting a mix of 22 Avaya IP Telephones and an Avaya AP-8 Wireless Access Point

to the switch, power cycling the switch and verifying successful boot operation and

registration of the devices to the Avaya Communication Manager.

4. Interoperability Compliance Testing

The interoperability compliance testing focused on verifying PoE interoperability between the

CyberPath PowerPath POE4424 and Avaya IP Telephones and Avaya AP-8 Wireless Access

Point.

4.1. General Test Approach

The general test approach was to connect the Avaya PDs (Avaya IP Telephones and Avaya AP-8

Wireless Access Point) to PoE-enabled ports on the CyberPath PowerPath POE4424 and verify

that the PDs successfully boot. To verify that power and data can be simultaneously carried on

the PoE connections, phone calls were made from the IP Telephones to / from a 3616 Wireless

Telephone accessing the network via the AP-8 as well as to/from an IP Softphone on a wireless

laptop accessing the network via the AP-8.

4.2. Test Results

Most Power over Ethernet test cases completed successfully. The only issue encountered was

with the 5602SW IP Telephone as documented in Note 2 below. The CyberPath PowerPath

POE4424 successfully provided inline power to the Avaya PDs. Table 1 below lists the 802.3af

class, allocated power, and measured power of the Avaya PDs when connected to the CyberPath

PowerPath POE4424. The measured power listed is for the particular phone being tested. Cable

length and impedance affects power usage, so the measurements listed here may vary based on

the cable used.

Note 2: The 5602SW IP Telephone used in the lab registered as a Class 1 device but should

the 5602SW, the POE4424 reports a FAULT on the port because the phone draws more power

than permitted for its class and resets the port. CyberPath does not currently provide a method

for overriding the port setting.

Note 3: Power drawn by AP-8 during the wireless IP Softphone call to an IP Phone is 4100 mW.

Power drawn during wireless IP Softphone call to 3616 Wireless Telephone is 5200 mW.

5. Verification Steps

The following steps may be used to verify the configuration:

1. Ensure that PoE has been enabled on the CyberPath POE4424 and the ports that serve the

PDs.

2. Connect the Avaya PD to a PoE enabled port on the CyberPath POE4424 and verify that

the PD powers on successfully. If the PD does not power on, enter the command show

inlinepower port summary <slot.port/all> to confirm PoE is enabled on the port.

3. Verify that the Avaya 4600 Series IP Telephones successfully register with Avaya

Communication Manager and complete phone calls to other phones (assumes the IP

telephones have been configured with the correct IP and call control information).

4. Verify that the Avaya 5600 Series IP Telephones successfully register with Avaya IP

Office and complete phone calls to other phones (assumes the IP telephones have been

configured with the correct IP and call control information).

5. Verify the Avaya Wireless Access Point by having an Avaya IP Softphone running on a

wireless laptop accessing the network via the Access Point successfully register with

Avaya Communication Manager and complete phone calls to other phones (assumes the

IP Softphone has been configured with the correct IP and call control information).

6. Verify the Avaya IP Telephone continues to function properly when the speakerphone

volume is turned up to max value.

7. Verify the POE4424 powers up a mix of 23 Avaya IP Telephones. Connect up to 23

Avaya IP Telephones to the POE4424. Connect the 24

port of the POE4424 to an

upstream switch. Connect the Avaya Communication Manager, DHCP Server and/or

Avaya IP Office to the upstream switch. Power cycle the POE4424 and verify all the

Avaya IP Telephones successfully power up and register to their corresponding switch.

7. Conclusion

These Application Notes describe the steps for configuring the CyberPath PowerPath POE4424

to provide inline Power over Ethernet (PoE) to the Avaya PDs, namely Avaya IP Telephones and

Avaya Wireless Access Points. During compliance testing, the Avaya PDs simultaneously

obtained power and transferred data over standard Ethernet cables from the CyberPath

PowerPath POE4424.
